Right now I am stretching in my own living room! It is a 2 and a half day drive from NM to NJ.
Before we left, Rob wanted to take me to the zoo. So we went with his mom, Carlos and Mimi. I have some cute pictures from that trip. I already put a few of them up on MySpace. Daddy wanted Mimi to feed the duckies so he took her over. She wasn't too sure at first but quickly warmed up to it. She cried when we were all out of food and it was time to move on. She LOVED the ducks!
About a quarter of the way through the zoo, Uncle Carlos decided to join Mimi in the wagon. Rob pulled them both around and got a pretty good workout. I have pics of that too, but I don't know if I've posted them yet. We had a good time, even though the polar bears weren't out!
Later that night, Rob took me for a drive down Central. We saw three prostitutes! Yeah, I know...I get excited about the weirdest things. But those who know me, especially those who grew up with me...know there weren't exactly hookers hanging out on the corner of Eagle Rd. and Neal Rd! So I have never seen stuff like that. My husband finds it adorable and loves to show me these things. LOL I didn't take any pictures of the hookers...only because I didn't think of it until now. :)
I know we did more stuff, I just can't think of it right now. Greg Jackson wrote out a workout plan/diet for Rob to follow. For ROB to follow! I am not giving up McDonalds. Nope. And I can't stand to lose another ounce. The last time I weighed myself, I weighed 5 pounds less than when I graduated High School! I am trying to gain, and I think I may have gained a little in NM but we don't have a scale so I dunno. As for exercise? Yeah...no. I am not into self-inflicted torture. I went jogging with Rob twice because he begged me.. It pretty much sucked. Now when he wants me to come to the gym with him, I am a spectator only!
Anyway, I digress. We left a little later than we had planned on Friday. After driving for a few hours, Rob pulled into Chuck E Cheese. I think we were in Oklahoma. We stayed there for about 2 hours. It was so much fun. I'll put up some pics later. Rob and I are so competitive, so we played about 20 games of Skee-Ball. He says he is Champion of Skee-Ball. But he knows the real truth. :) Oh yeah....Mimi had fun too. lol
In Ohio, I introduced Rob to Meijer. He had never been to Ohio...or Meijer. It was like 5 am and we needed to stop and stretch. He bought me my favorite BBQ sauce that isn't sold at home, and a case of Vernor's...also not sold at home. YUM! Vernor's is the ONLY good gingerale!
The rest of the trip was pretty uneventful. We made some more minor stops and eventually got home. Mimi was really excited to see all her toys. Her allergies are acting up again though. Her nose is runny yet plugged. Poor baby. Hopefully the Claritin starts working soon.
Rob is back at work today. Mimi and I are hanging out. I am trying to put stuff away and do some laundry. She is "helping" by tearing everything out of the suitcase and throwing it on the floor.
Thats all for now. Keep checking my pics folders. I'll be adding new ones as much as I can.

Albuquerque
We have been in New Mexico for almost two weeks now. We have been having lot's of fun. I've had Mexican food (duh), Indian food twice (as in India), Japanese...and we are going to try and have some Thai before we leave Friday morning.
We all went up to the mountains to the cabin. That was really fun. There was an outhouse...which I DID NOT step foot in! Rob took me up this really scary road (I am terrified of heights!) and the view at the top was beautiful! Mimi had a great time too. Of course grandma and grandpa gave in to her every whim. There are a million pictures that I will post on my page soon.
I saw my very first Balloon Fiesta last week. There were hundreds and hundreds of hot air balloons. Special shapes day was my favorite. Again, I have lots of pictures! Mimi was intrigued by the balloons for quite awhile. Then she decided that it was also fun to eat rocks and sticks!
One of the coolest things to happen is that Rob started training at Greg Jackson's gym here. If you know anything about MMA or UFC then you know that his gym is one of the top rated in the country. Greg is a really cool guy. The first day Rob went Keith Jardine, Rashad Evans and Nate Marquardt were all there helping out. He was so excited. The next day, the UFC was there interviewing Rashad for his upcoming fight against Michael Bisping. They panned around the gym, and the interview was in the cage. Rob was hitting the bag right behind the cage. So he might have a cameo in one of the interviews!
He has been asking me to go all week, so finally I went yesterday. Not a single fighter I recognized was there! Mimi was a celebrity there. Fighters were in the middle of submissions and they are smiling and waving at her! Mimi was just calling out to daddy who was across the gym. It was super cute.
I went again tonight, grandma kept Mimi for us this time. I walked in and Rashad and Nate were sparring in the cage. It was really cool. I was sitting in a chair in front of the heavy bags, when the class started Rashad started hitting the bags. There were a few times I could have reached out and touched him. (Which I didn't!) lol I didn't take any pictures of him either, I felt like enough of an idiot just looking at him while he was training. It was really cool though.
Georges St. Pierre is supposed to get into town like 2 days after we leave. :(
Anyway, it has been a fun and interesting trip. I hate to see it come to an end in a couple days.
